WHAT DID YOU DO AFTER YOU SINNED
I have often wondered what would
have happened if Judas who betrayed Christ had asked for mercy or David had
defended his actions when he killed Uriah… would their story end the same way
it did.
What choice are we faced with
when we stumble?
Ask for Mercy
Do what David did, acknowledge that you have sinned against
God and beg for mercy. The Bible made us to understand that if we humble
ourselves and approach His throne of grace; He is faithful and just to forgive
all unrighteousness.
Dive further down into Sin
King Saul had the
opportunity to ask for mercy but he chose to defend his actions. His love for
the throne (worldly possession) hardened his heart, and kept him from accepting
God’s judgement – Samuel anointing David as the new king of Israel. Saul died a
shameful death.
Bearing the Burden
Judas Iscariot killed himself after realizing his mistake.
Grace is not available for the dead. Atonement for sin cannot be found in the
grave. The Bible says, “After death comes judgement”. Judas chose to pay the price for his own wrongdoing.
"The end does not come after we have sinned, it comes with the decision we take after we have sinned."
